Fleetwood Town
- Fleetwood Town’s home record in League Two stands at W1, D2, L1.
- Fleetwood Town’s form since the start of League Two 2025/2026 has been mixed, leaving them 15th in the table with 12 points from nine games and setting the stage for the first Fleetwood Town vs Colchester United prediction this season.
- They’ve picked up two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five, with the most recent result being a 2-1 loss away to Cambridge United.
- However, they are now unbeaten in two at home, a win and a draw, and will be hoping to make it three when they welcome Colchester United on Saturday.
- Fleetwood, meanwhile, are more pragmatic under the tutelage of Peter Wild, who has brought in a 3-5-2 system that is solid at the back, full of energy in the wing-backs and quick in transition, which will be key in the Fleetwood Town vs Colchester United preview for this weekend’s matchup.
Colchester United
- Colchester United’s away record in League Two reads W1, D2, L1.
- Colchester United have also found consistency hard to come by of late, as their run of one win, three draws, and one defeat suggests.
- The latest result was a 1-1 home draw with Bristol Rovers, which has left them 20th in the League Two table.
- Colchester are no strangers to climbing the standings and boss Danny Cowley has already shown his prowess at playing the long game and has recently guided the team into promotion contention.
Head-to-Head
- Colchester United are unbeaten in the last 2 head-to-heads (W1, D1).
- Colchester romped to a 3-0 victory over Fleetwood Town when these sides met in League Two 2024/2025, and that result will leave some psychological scars on the hosts, which adds another element to our Fleetwood Town vs Colchester United prediction for Saturday.
Key Players
- Will Davies leads the line for Fleetwood, with four goals in nine League Two appearances, while Kyreece Lisbie is Colchester’s main man with three goals in the same number of games.
- Ryan Graydon has been in fine form for Fleetwood lately, scoring two goals in the host’s last five, and he could provide a spark for his side if he finds the net.
Betting Insights
- Fleetwood have conceded 7 goals in 4 League Two games, and while they’re the slight favorites here at +125, the draw at +225 and Colchester are considered outsiders, making the Fleetwood Town vs Colchester United betting tips especially intriguing for punters.
- With Fleetwood’s defensive frailties and Colchester’s lack of forward firepower, both teams to score at -111 seems like a safe bet for Saturday’s clash.
- Fleetwood’s best bet is to exploit turnovers from Colchester, so this will all depend on whether the visitors can dominate the midfield enough to cut off the supply to Fleetwood’s wing-backs.
Prediction
For that reason, we’re going with a tight home win , but Colchester’s stubbornness could get them a point.
